School Counseling

The role of The Comprehensive School Counseling Program at W. J. Keenan High School represents a cooperative effort between students, parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators, as well as special services and community agencies. Our purpose is to promote and enhance student learning by enabling students to develop their educational, personal/social, and career strengths to become productive citizens.

Success requires that students possess the attitudes, skills and knowledge that are essential to the competitive workplace of the 21st century. Each school counselor is to foster the above qualities through individual counseling sessions; scheduled groups and classroom guidance presentations; consultation processes; and coordination of direct and indirect school counseling services and activities. While all counselors are actively involved in the total School Counseling Program, each counselor is assigned special areas of responsibility and a specified group of students.
